And so the story goes.

A recap of the past to lay down the red for the present.

The question is:
Are we being too quick to judge judgement?

'Judgey-wudgey was a bear'. I think it’s pretty much agreed that it goes—Open minded: good, Judgemental: bad. But are we being too quick to judge judgement? It might not be so bad. Perhaps judgement isn’t so much a snap decision as an early warning and detection device. If it is instantly clear that a person, a place, or even a profession is not for you, is it better to ignore your better judgement and read between the lines, or should you judge a book by its cover?

Post judging, it’s odd but when it comes to all things with heavy weight age: i.e., love and life and all things in between, why do we believe in our worst reviews? Why is it that we always believe in the negative people say about us, when there is always evidence to the contrary? A parent, a neighbour, a past relationship, can cancel out everything we thought was once true. But as it turns out, even the most together-women, and men for that matter, can’t keep it together when it comes to love for the sole reason that just below the surface, we’re all raw and exposed. Do we fear that too much? And why aren’t we satisfied with that notion and all that is presented to us?

Usually we are looking for a great job, and place to live, and of course someone to share it all with. So let’s say you have two out of three, and they’re fabulous. Why would we let the one thing that we don’t have affect how we feel about the two we do have? The reality is, there are some things people don’t admit because they just don’t like the way it sounds. Like, I have a former wife, or I’m feeling distant. Me? I’m very much in love but there is a wall of distance, and the itch is palpable.

Noise: Whirls in my head.
